After some recent struggles, the Murray State softball team came within one game of a three-game sweep over the Belmont Bruins on April 17 and 18.
Despite dominating in the first two games of the series, the Bruins took the final game with back-to-back home runs in the tenth inning, eliminating the Racers’ chance for the sweep.
Game One
The Racers got the series started with junior right-hander Hannah James on the mound. She made a quick impact for the Racers, striking out the first batter she faced and forcing the next two batters into groundouts. She allowed just two hits from the Bruins through the next three innings, giving the Racers a huge boost on defense.
